While God of War and Twisted Metal director David Jaffe was watching the recently announced Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 trailer, some pieces of the reveal interested, and just about inspired him for new work in a long time.

"I love the genre, but I feel it has been allowed to go a little -- well, actually, quite a lot -- stale when it comes to moment to moment mechanics," said Jaffe, speaking about game mechanics. "I'm hoping to see that iterated on in the future."

Could Mr. Jaffe be a new name in the book of new first-person shooters of the present gaming era? Earlier in the 2012 year, he stepped down from being a developer for Eat Sleep Play, to construct a new title in the "casual space" category of gaming, which very well means he could already be working on a shooter, as it seems FPS' are the most commonly favored genre of gaming for today's average gamer. This being said, what could he do differently to spice up a shooter of his own?

Being asked what he'd do for a new shooter, he was very secretive, not revealing any information whatsoever about his thoughts and what he's brainstormed as of recently.

"I have thought about it," Jaffe said, "I'm not telling you."

After three months since the deployment of the well-known title Twisted Metal, Jaffe has been a big supporter of the car-based combat game (this will end in this month of May), and he's been thinking on what he'll be creating next. His thinking created a whiteboard, filled with roughly thirty new ideas, and has now been broken down to two.

"There is a gun in [one of the games]," Jaffe stated, "And you hold it. And all the things that I can sit here and passionately discuss and preach to you are absolutely things that I'm thinking about doing if it turns out the game we're thinking about doing gets made next involves a gun and a person holding a gun."

The next thing on David Jaffe's agenda is to find publishers and possible future teammates who're interested in whatever idea he decides to finalize. Until everything is set in stone, we'll be left oblivious to his ideas and what we'll be seeing in the future.

"I remain incredibly enthusiastic about the browser space in terms of its ease of access, the number of people who can experience the game," Jaffe said, referring to You must login or register to view this content., a browser-based engine supporting games on the internet as well as Facebook, "But it doesn't mean that's where we're going to end up."
